Listen up, folks. I have never heard anyone proudly saying "I suck at history or philosophy," but unfortunately, I have heard people frequently and proudly declaring that they "suck at math." This is unacceptable. By glorifying ignorance or a lack of effort in this critical subject, we are perpetuating a culture that devalues math and makes it harder for those who genuinely struggle with it to get the support they need.

Let me make this clear: math anxiety is real and can be challenging for many people, especially in high school trigonometry, first-year calculus, or advanced math courses like Baby Rudin or Tao Analysis. However, that's not an excuse to give up. Math is a subject that requires consistent effort and dedication. You need to sacrifice your time to study, practice problems, struggle, and read the materials repeatedly until you understand it. That's the only way to truly learn math.

So if you're at a party and someone starts proudly saying "I suck at math," don't just sit there silently. Encourage a growth mindset towards learning math, and remind them that with effort and dedication, anyone can improve their skills.

That's for the introverted nerds. As an extraverted nerd I do respond and I say "sounds like a personal problem"

math isn't important, its just a useful tool, its not worth anything on its own. same goes for computer science.

that's because philosophy is so devoid of substance that anyone can pretend - and convince himself - that he is good at it. math skills otoh are impossible to feign.

Charlatans of Philosophy are literally everywhere!

The fact you cant see them in society proves you know Nothing of Philosophy OR Math, thinking Math is easy to check because "he did the order of operations so he got the answer" not realizing how much of Math is arbitrary definitions for universal outcomes.

Oh...and show me your's and watch hiw easily I dismantle it. No, not "everyone can", you're just able to differentiate those that mimic it and those that craft it.

Same for math. Those that teach to the test and those that invent it. Those that teach to the test can be Professors. Those that invent it can be homeless schizos.

Except when it becomes correlated to Physics itself, then it becomes irrefutable. Capital-T Truth. You can't differentiate Logic from "Words words words". A trait of midwittery.

Not a bad thing at all. Philosophy is a complete waste of time
